No man is obliged to do as much as he can do. A man is to have part of his life to himself.

Leisure in time is like unoccupied floor space in a room.

The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.

The time best employed is that which is wasted.

Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save.

The secret of being miserable is to have leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not. The cure for it is occupation.

It is well to lie fallow for a while.

I have one abiding religion-human liberty.

There was one of two things I had a right to-liberty or death. If I could not have one, I would have the other, for no man should take me alive. I should fight for my liberty as long as my strength lasted, and when the time came for me to go, the Lord would let them take me.

The whole world is absolutely brought up on lies. We are fed nothing but lies. We begin with lies, and half our lives we live with lies. Most human beings waste some twenty-five to thirty years of their lives before they break through the actual and conventional lies which surround them.
